Chinese gardens are renowned for their intricate spatial arrangements and the harmonious interplay between nature and architecture. Wang Baodong, the mastermind behind the Hualin Club, has successfully translated these elements into interior design, creating a space that captivates visitors with its ever-changing ambiance and emotional journey.
The Hualin Club is a testament to the seamless integration of Yin and Yang, where the room becomes an extension of the surrounding garden. The design team, including Feng Jian, Hu Jinling, Dongfengtang, Yejiantang, Mishuxiang, Qinqiang, and Zhanglin, carefully considered the relationship between architecture, nature, and people, resulting in a space that offers a wealth of experiences.
Spanning an indoor area of 600 square meters, the Hualin Club showcases the perfect blend of materials, including stone, wood, paint, wall cloth, glass, and steel. These materials not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also contribute to the overall functionality of the space.
The journey through the Hualin Club is carefully orchestrated, starting with a reception area tucked away in a deep corner. As visitors enter through the small porch, they are greeted by a spacious hall that leads them into a slightly wider aisle. The narrow corridor, adorned with wooden lattice turning doors, eventually leads to the tea room. This carefully crafted sequence of spaces ensures that every step offers a unique and immersive experience.
One of the main challenges faced during the design process was to create a space that maximized the sense of abundance while keeping costs to a minimum. The Hualin Club successfully achieves this by incorporating the principles of Chinese garden architecture, where the winding layout and concentrated spaces create an illusion of grandeur.
The Hualin Club, located in Yangzhou, China, was completed in August 2018 after months of meticulous planning and execution. Wang Baodong's research into the combination of Yin and Yang, the permeability of space, and the mobility of design elements culminated in a space that transcends traditional office environments.
The Hualin Club has received widespread acclaim for its innovative design and has been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This award celebrates designs that showcase exceptional creativity, technical skill, and a commitment to improving the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.
With its seamless integration of architecture and nature, the Hualin Club stands as a testament to Wang Baodong's vision and creativity. This unique space offers a sanctuary for investment and financial customers, providing them with a comfortable and immersive experience unlike any other.
